AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The design enhances cap insertion reliability, prevents incomplete mounting, and maintains structural integrity by eliminating chamfered portion interference, thus improving operability and reducing manufacturing complexity and costs.

Problems solved by technology

When the chamfered portion is provided at the opening end portion of the terminal accommodating portion 541 in a manner of avoiding the interference, a thickness of the opening end portion is reduced, and thus strength of the opening end portion is reduced and the opening end portion may be damaged due to repeated fitting with a counterpart connector.
